Sixteen Illustrated Books from the Sixteenth Century ♦ MUSINSKY RARE BOOKS ♦ Sixteen illustrated books from the sixteenth century A short list for late winter No. 2 www.musinskyrarebooks.com + 1 212 579-2099 / [email protected] A woman’s private liturgy 1) HORAE B.M.V., use of Rome. Hore christifere virginis marie. Paris: Simon Vostre, [ca. 1508]. $32,000 A FINE, LARGE, RED-RULED COPY of the most lavishly illustrated of Simon Vostre’s quarto editions, called the “grandes heures” as much for the richness of their illustrative material as for their format. Vostre’s complete new series of fourteen very large full-page metalcuts, attributed to the workshop of Jean Pichore, first appeared in this edition; only three had appeared previously. This copy is bound with six pages of contemporary manuscript prayers and devout meditations by a woman, preserved by the binder Capé when the copy was luxuriously rebound in the 19th century in a retrospective style. 4to. 14 full-page and many smaller metalcuts, including page borders assembled from individual cuts. 19th-century red goatskin with a strapwork décor, by Capé. The Robert Hoe - Cortland Bishop - Mary S. Collins copy. See more: Horae One of three known copies 2) CIBOULE, Robert. Le Livre de la perfection de la vie crestienne. Paris: Philippe Pigouchet for Simon Vostre, [ca. 1510]. $6750 Probable FIRST EDITION of a treatise on the path to spiritual enlightenment, an eight-step plan devised by a well- known contemporary preacher. Although written in French in order to reach a broad audience, the ascetic spiritual path proposed by Ciboule required a quasi- monastic existence, inaccessible to most laypeople. A fragmentary copy survives of an undated edition printed by Gilles Couteau, who was active from 1491 to 1523; the priority of these two rare editions has not been established. 8vo. Bâtarde types. Metalcut devices of the printer and publisher, and full-page metalcut of the Trinity and the Church (also used in the preceding Vostre Horae). 18th- century boards. Provenance: Carmelites of Valenciennes. See more: Ciboule See also cover illustration Herculean labors 3) SALIS, Baptista de (Trovamala). Summa Roselle de casibus conscientie. Strassburg: Johann Knobloch, 26 February 1516. $6500 FIRST CORRECT EDITION of a popular guide to canon law, revised and edited by the important Strassburg humanist Ottmar Nachtgall (Luscinius), who described the toils of correcting the error-ridden text as a “Herculean labor.” Arranged alphabetically by subject, from Abbas to Uxor, the work includes detailed guidelines for various topics, from absolution and adultery to novices, relics, and usury. The large woodcut title border by Hans Baldung Grien shows Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I enthroned, holding scepter and orb. The copy has interesting eastern European provenance and retains its well-preserved Moravian binding. Folio. Woodcut title border. Contemporary half pigskin over wooden boards. From the library of the Czech humanist Franciscus Godefridus Troilus à Lessoth, with his large woodcut bookplate. See more: Salis Buying books and wine 4) GEILER VON KAISERSBERG, Johann; PAULI, Johann. Die brösamlin. Strassburg: Johannes Grüninger, 1517. $20,000 ONLY EDITION of this illustrated collection of sermons of the peerless pre-Reformation Alsatian preacher Johannes Geiler. Geiler preached in German, mainly in the Strassburg Cathedral, from his Latin notes, and the compilations of his sermons were made by auditors, in this case the generally reliable Johann Pauli. Geiler’s sermons were known for his colorful language, erudition, and uncommon exempla. Arranged thematically, each subject is explored from various angles; thus, for example, a section relating to merchants includes moral guidelines for commercial behavior and on the sins and temptations of commerce, as well as extended comparisons of merchants to the Devil. Folio. Title printed in red and black within woodcut border, 34 woodcut illustrations by the Master H. F., Hans Schäufelein, and others. Contemporary German blind- tooled pigskin over wooden boards. Provenance: the Carthusians of Buxheim, with purchase note by Wilhelm von Zell, the monastery’s domicellus (cellarer). See more: Geiler von Kaisersburg Portable glossed Bible 5) BIBLE, Latin. Biblia cum ... apparatu. Lyon: Jacques Mareschal [for Simon Vincent], 16 October 1519. $6500 A complete portable Bible printed in very small types, containing finding aids and an ample scholarly apparatus for the use of theology students and scholars; this copy with contemporary annotations and in a contemporary, probably Flemish binding. Although economically printed, the Bible is enlivened by hundreds of historiated woodcut initials from woodcut alphabets designed by Guillaume Leroy, who also designed the six-part full-page woodcut of the Creation. This is the fourth of six editions of Mareschal’s useful “pocket” Bibles, which were the first Bible editions to include a RHYMING MNEMONIC BIBLICAL SUMMARY by the Minorite friar Franciscus Gothi, in which each four-line verse summarizes a Biblical chapter. 8vo. Contemporary blind-tooled calf over wooden boards. See more: Bible The importance of an impartial judiciary 6) ALBERT OF BRANDENBURG, Archbishop and Elector of Mainz. Meintzisch hoffgerichts Ordnung. [Bound with:] Undergerichts ordnung des Ertzstiffts Meyntz. Mainz: Johann Schöffer, 1521 / 1534. $3800 FIRST EDITION of the judicial statutes of the Electorate of Mainz, the largest ecclesiastical province of Germany and one of the most prestigious and powerful states of the Holy Roman Empire; bound with the first edition of the statutes of the lower court of the Mainz Prince-Bishopric. Both these influential procedural codes explicitly adopted the common law (ius commune), a combination of Roman and canon law, and both laid down precise rules for court procedure. They are filled with down-to-earth details, such as where the courts reside, who should serve in them, how trials are to be conducted, the duties of court scribes. The Hofgerichts Ordnung provides oaths for different court officials and for special segments of the population (including witnesses, the poor, and Jews), and establishes the right of the poor to legal representation. 2 volumes in one, small folio. Ten-block woodcut title border. Bound with a folding leaf of contemporary manuscript commentary. Modern boards. See more: Mainz law A Gallic take on human foibles 7) BRANT, Sebastian; DROUYN, Jean. La grand nef des folz du monde. Lyon: François Juste, (1529-) 1530. $35,000 A French prose adaptation of Brant’s allegorical satire, illustrated with Lyonese blocks copied from the original Basel woodcut series: A SUPERB FRENCH WOODCUT BOOK, FROM THE LIBRARY OF AMBROISE FIRMIN-FIDOT. Drouyn, a law clerk from Amiens, probably based his prose version on a French verse translation by Pierre Riviere, rather than on Jacob Locher’s Latin translation of Brant’s German satire. Only a few sixteenth-century French- language editions of the Narrenschiff are recorded; some vernacular editions may have been lost. This edition is the earliest known book published by François Juste alone. 4to. Gothic types. Title printed in red and black. 119 woodcut illustrations. 18th-century French red morocco. Firmin-Didot bookplate. See more: Brant A landmark of German book illustration 8) PETRARCH MASTER, artist. — JUSTINUS, Marcus Junianus. Warhafftige Hystorien ... auss Trogo Pompeio gezoge[n]. 1531. [Bound with:] HERODIANUS. Der Fürtrefflich Griechisch geschicht schreiber Herodianus. 19 August 1531. [Bound with:] CICERO, Marcus Tullius. Officia [in German]. 7 December 1531. All Augsburg: Heinrich Steiner. $20,000 A FINE COPY of three important editions of classical texts in the first or second German translations, containing among the earliest appearances of the outstanding woodcut illustration cycle attributed to the so-called Petrarca- Meister. The over 150 woodcuts contain vignettes of contemporary Renaissance life: a notary’s office, a conjurer, an armorer's shop, a scriptorium, a painter’s studio, a domestic interior with eight children, a dancing bear, an amputation and a phlebotomy, doctors consulting, drunken men fighting, a construction site, etc. Although the illustrator, whose identity has long been debated, was later named after Steiner’s edition of Petrarch, De remediis, that work did not appear until 1532. 3 vols. in one, folio, contemporary blind-stamped alum- tawed pigskin over wooden boards. See more: Petrarca-Meister How to handle it all 9) [LE ROY, François]. Le Dialogue de consolation entre l’ame et raison. Paris: [Étienne Caveiller for] Denis Janot, 1537. $3000 A dialectical interchange between reason and the tormented soul, by a monk of the order of Fontevrault, a “double” monastery, populated by both monks and nuns, who resided in separate convents but were governed by a single Abbess. In this internal dialogue the Soul, tormented by temptations and spiritual tribulations, is counseled by Reason, who provides consolation in the form of contemplation and devout meditation. The work is illustrated with a full-page metalcut of the Pentecost, showing the Trinity above the assembled Church and nations,. This cut made repeated appearances in Parisian religious books from the end of the fifteenth century to the latter sixteenth century. The plate in this edition is a very close copy of the one used in numbers 1 and 2 above. 8vo. Title in red and black within metalcut border, full- page metalcut illustration. Modern goatskin. See more: Le Roy Math is no. 1 10) LA PERRIÈRE, Guillaume de. Les Considérations des quatre mondes. Lyon: Macé Bonhomme [for Jean Mounier and Jean Perrin in Toulouse], 1552. $5800 FIRST EDITION of a cosmological work containing four hundred French HERMETIC QUATRAINS on the four worlds: divine, angelic, celestial, and “sensible” (that which can be grasped by the senses). The preface to part one contains a lengthy ENCOMIUM OF MATHEMATICS and mathematical symbolization as the best way to apprehend what the human mind cannot otherwise understand. In his prefaces to each part La Perrière praises mathematicians and scientists, including Pacioli and the geometrician Bouelles. La Perrière was the author of the first French emblem book, the Théâtre des bons engins (1539).

  • Abstract Hodnet, Andrew Arthur
    ABSTRACT HODNET, ANDREW ARTHUR. The Othering of the Landsknechte. (Under the direction of Dr. Verena Kasper-Marienberg). This thesis offers a socio-cultural analysis of early modern German media to explore the public perception of the Landsknechte, mercenaries that were both valued and feared for their viciousness, and their indifference displayed towards the political motivations of their clients. Despite their ubiquity on European battlefields, and their role in repulsing the 1529 Ottoman invasion of Austria, by 1530 the Landsknechte and their families were perceived as thoroughly dishonorable by central Reformation society and were legally excluded from most urban centers. This study engages with a critical assessment of contemporary songs, religious pamphlets, broadsheets, political treatises, autobiographic sources, and belletristic representations of the Landsknechte to explore the paradoxical relationship that they maintained with the state actors that relied on their employment. Through engaging with the cultural genres present in these depictions, the othering of the Landsknechte stems from their origin as the militaristic arm of Emperor Maximilian I’s attempted centralization of the Holy Roman Empire, continuing with the economic challenge the mercenary lifestyle posed to traditional social structures, and ending with their inextricable association between with the increasingly destructive and intrusive military-fiscal state. © Copyright 2018 by Andrew Arthur Hodnet All Rights Reserved The Othering of the Landsknechte by Andrew Arthur Hodnet A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of North Carolina State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts History Raleigh, North Carolina 2018 APPROVED BY: _______________________________ _______________________________ Dr. Verena Kasper-Marienberg Dr.

  • Introduction – the Transformation of the Classics
    INTRODUCTION – THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE CLASSICS. PRACTICES, FORMS, AND FUNCTIONS OF EARLY MODERN COMMENTING Karl A.E. Enenkel Recently, a vivid interest in commentaries came into being, as did a sense of the important role commentaries have played in the transmission of the classical heritage, especially in the early modern period.1 Early mod- ern intellectuals rarely read classical authors in a simple and “direct” form, but generally via intermediary paratexts: dedications, prefaces, and other introductory texts; argumenta; indices; illustrations; and above all, all kinds of commentaries – annotationes, notae, commenta, commentaria, com- mentariola, animadversiones, paraphrases, etc. These intermediary texts presented the classical text to modern readers in certain ways that deter- mined and guided the reader’s perception of the text being commented upon. After all, the classical texts were composed in ages so very different from the period ca. 1450–1700. They were not only 1,000–2,000 years old, but they were written in a culture that in many respects had become alien to early modern readers. It was not self-evident to readers from 1450–1700 in what way these texts should be read, interpreted, and used. Take, for example, Martial’s Epigrams, which are full of explicit, partly homoerotic sexuality; they describe sexual practices and positions of lovemaking; they describe oral and anal sex, both heterosexual and homosexual; and many times they address pederasty. As Martial says in the first book of his Epi- grams, his ‘verses cannot please without a cock’ (‘non possunt sine mentula placere’).2 In 1450–1700, however, sexual culture was directed on the one hand by Catholic Church, which – via a long tradition – had restricted not only the representations of sexual practices but the practices themselves 1 Cf.

  • Horses As Love Objects: Shaping Social and Moral Identities in Hans Baldung Grien's Bewitched Groom (Circa 1544) and in Sixteenth-Century Hippology
    7 Horses as Love Objects: Shaping Social and Moral Identities in Hans Baldung Grien's Bewitched Groom (circa 1544) and in Sixteenth-Century Hippology Pia F. Cuneo Just outside a stall, a groom lies supine near the rear hooves of a horse who turns to glower at the viewer while a bare-breasted hag brandishing a torch leans in through the stable's window. Felled by mysterious forces, the groom is further victimized by a perspective that violently foreshortens his body. The horse too is strategically posed for visual consumption but the awkward yet vigorous turn of its head, the open, down-turned mouth, and the manner in which it fixes the viewer with its gaze signal the animal's smoldering resistance to the imposed perspectival constraints and to any hermeneutic certainties. The woodcut illustrating this bizarre scene bears the prominent mark of its maker; the hapless groom's fallen pitchfork leads the viewer's eye to the simple tablet in the right foreground bearing Hans Baldung's monogram. A preparatory drawing in Basel of the figure of the groom dated 1544 indicates that the woodcut was produced at approximately this time.1 The artist died in the following year, 1545. Hans Baldung Grien's woodcut, known as the Bewitched Groom (Fig. 7.1), remains one of the most tantalizing and puzzling images in the history of early modern art. One of the reasons for its interpretive intransigence is that the image runs roughshod over the venerable tradition of equestrian iconography. Titian's portrait of the emperor Charles V at Schmalkalden, painted in 15482 and thus almost exactly contemporaneously to Baldung's Bewitched Groom, depicts the very essence of that iconography.

  • Illustrations As Commentary and Readers' Guidance. the Transformation of Cicero's De Officiis Into a German Emblem Book By
    ILLUSTRATIONS AS COMMENTARY AND READERS’ GUIDANCE. THE TRANSFORMATION OF CICERO’S DE OFFICIIS INTO A GERMAN EMBLEM BOOK BY JOHANN VON SCHWARZENBERG, HEINRICH STEINER, AND CHRISTIAN EGENOLFF (1517–1520; 1530/1531; 1550) Karl A.E. Enenkel Summary The contribution analyzes the ways in which woodcut illustrations – in combi- nation with other paratexts – are used in Heinrich Steiner’s edition of Johann Neuber’s and Freiherr Johann von Schwarzenberg’s (+1528) German translation of Cicero’s De officiis (1530). The article demonstrates that Heinrich Steiner and Johann von Schwarzenberg have transformed Cicero’s treatise into a (proto) emblem book, On virtue and civil service. This is especially interesting since – according to the communis opinio – the first emblem book appeared only a year later, in 1531: Alciato’s Emblematum libellus, from the same Augsburg publisher (Steiner). In Alciato’s Emblematum libellus – different from On virtue and civil service – the images were neither invented nor intended by its author. In On vir- tue and civil service as a standard, each “emblem” has (1) introductory German verses composed by Johann von Schwarzenberg, usually between two and six lines, (2) a woodcut pictura invented by either Johann von Schwarzenberg or Heinrich Steiner, and (3) a prose text consisting of a certain short, well-chosen passage of Cicero’s translated De officiis, singled out by Johann von Schwarzen- berg and consisting mostly of two or three paragraphs of the modern Cicero edition (i.e. approximately one or one and a half page of Steiner’s folio edi- tion). Johann von Schwarzenberg did his best to present the emblematic prose passages of Cicero’s De officiis as textual units.

Crossing Gender Boundaries: Women as Drunkards in Early Modern Augsburg B. Ann Tlusty Although drunkenness brings honor to none, it sha- mes a woman more than a man .1 I. According to currently accepted theories of gender relations during the early mo- dern period in Europe, honor for women was primarily defined as sexual honor, and was closely tied to the body – or as Susanna Burghartz put it, to "the use of women's bodies by men." 2 Another, more archaic model of female honor existed, however, that was clearly still a part of early modern mentalities. I refer to a no- tion of honorable behavior that was associated not just with sexual relations, but with the related functions of reproduction and the provision of nourishment. The most organic vision of this concept appeared in the popular medieval image of the lactating mother, both form and symbol of the eternal provider.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Pagc(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good Image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It Is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Geography and Enlightenment in the German states, c.1690 – c.1815 Luise Fischer Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2014 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the science of geography in the German states during the ‘long’ eighteenth century, c.1690 – c.1815. It speaks to recent scholarly debates in historical geography, the history of science, book history, and Enlightenment studies. The thesis investigates the forms taken by eighteenth-century German geography, its meanings, and practices. This is of particular interest, since this topic is understudied. The thesis is based upon an analysis of geographical print (books and periodicals) and manuscript correspondence. The thesis proposes that geography’s definition was understood as ‘description of the earth’. The interpretative meaning of this definition, geography’s purpose in print, and its educational practice (content and methods) were, in contrast, debated.
